As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and training facilitator, my training in EMDR has been extensive.

Insurance Benefits: You work hard for them, I work hard to take them. I accept most private insurances, Medicare and CT Husky Insurance.
Why EMDR?:
My work and life has been greatly influenced by EMDR. I use EMDR as my primary therapeutic modality. As an EMDR Facilitator and Consultant, I coach and train other therapists in the use of EMDR, in particular how to use EMDR to address addictions. The EMDR driven changes I have witnessed personally and professionally have been compelling. Deep rooted habits can change quickly, which leads to incredible life shifts. This is not easy work, EMDR is a trauma therapy and the work can be difficult and intense. But slugging through days re-experiencing incidents from your past or repeating old emotional habits that do not serve you is not easy either. Therapy is about change, in my opinion, EMDR gets you there faster. But don’t take my word for it, to read about EMDR related research or about specific details about EMDR please take a look at these reputable websites below.
